And In the matter of: Balak Bagdi & Anr.

....petitioners.

Mr. Kallol Mondal Mr. Krishan Ray ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee, Ld. PP Mr. Aniket Mitra ...for the State.

Petitioners pray for anticipatory bail.

(AD) 12.12.2022 Court No.29 (Allowed) The husband was enlarged on bail by the jurisdictional Court.

The petitioners are in-laws of the victim.

Apparently, they lived separately.

The post-mortem report of the victim suggests that the victim died due to the effects of hanging and ante-mortem nature; hanging was suicidal in nature.

The allegations against the petitioners appear to be omnibus and general in nature.

In such circumstances, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a Bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each, with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section

438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioner no.1 will report before the Investigating Officer once a fortnight till the conclusion of the investigation and petitioner no.2 will cooperate with the investigation till the conclusion of the investigation and on condition that the petitioners shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default, the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioners in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

C.R.M. (A) 5731 of 2022 is disposed of.
